International Nurses Day (IND) is celebrated around the world on 12 May each year, to mark the contributions nurses make to society.
In January 1974, 12 May was chosen to celebrate the day as it is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Each year, International Council of Nurses (ICN) prepares and distributes the International Nurses’ Day Kit. The kit contains educational and public information materials, for use by nurses everywhere.
The ISN for International Nurses Day 2018 has chosen the theme “Nurses A Voice to Lead – Health is a human right”.
